Import of exported Excel file.

[ewilliams]

We are using the SmartGWT Power version.

We have been requested to implement a feature which involves exporting Grid data to excel so that the users can modify cell values in the Excel sheet, then import that excel file back into our web application.

I see there is an excel export capability that exists. Is there a capability for Import that exists that we can use to Import the Excel file previously Exported?

Hi ewilliams,

I don't know if it works for excel (.xls/.xlsx) as well, but at least there is a .csv Upload, see http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwte...batch_uploader.

Best regards,

We don't have out-of-the-box functionality for parsing uploaded Excel files. We have implemented it in customer applications in the past, using POI, the same libraries we use for Excel export.

Consider using our commercial services if you want either help implementing the functionality just in your application, or you'd like to see some or all of the functionality you need integrated into SmartGWT itself, via Feature Sponsorship.
